CVE-2026-16315: Authentication and authorization bypass via cryptographic timing side-channel attack in StationGuard
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.41% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: OMICRON electronics GmbH OMICRON StationGuard 4.10.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to OMICRON electronics GmbH OMICRON StationGuard 4.10 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
OMICRON StationGuard before version 4.10 contains a cryptographic timing side-channel vulnerability in the backend authentication mechanism that may allow an unauthenticated attacker to forge valid authentication credentials, bypass authentication and authorization, and impersonate legitimate clients. An attacker can gain full access to the system configuration, allowing modification, reset, or unauthorized alteration of system parameters.
